| 608651 | 2007-11-07 06:16:00 | I kind of wondered why my phone battery was going flat every day or two so I got a new battery. The new one did the same. I finally found out that daughter had turned on everything like screen saver and backgrounds etc etc. I went through and switched all those off now I get a full week out of either battery. I only use the phone about once a week but it is switched on 24/7 Strange - my 027 Nokia didn't have that. My Vodafone 3120 hasn't had anything disabled and lasts at least as the 5110. |

There are marks involved so think b4 you speak. from BillyT: All cellphones will run their batteries down faster on a road trip than they do when sitting in one location. In simple terms, that is because the phone has to send an ID signal every time it loses the current cellsite or goes into the next cell. That requires a burst of transmission which is always at full power because neither the phone nor the cellsite know how far away they are from each other. They do an electronic handshake then both reduce power to the minimum needed for reliable communication. If they didn't do this the network would come unstuck big time. OK, Cicero ? |
